Even footballers can misstep at times. At the recently held BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Art) awards, soccer celeb David Beckham was one of the presenters. During a short break before going on stage to present an award, he struck up a conversation with an Indian actress, the gorgeous Nimrat Kaur (The Lunchbox).

David B was so jittery that as he was preparing to leave the spot where they were chatting, he stepped on Nimrat K’s gown. In fact, he nearly tumbled but managed to get back on his feet, gave the actress a smile and went up the stage.

Methinks he should go back in time and hire a walking coach for himself.
